History

Oakridge Acres was developed starting on October 12, 1950 by Sifton Properties consisting of 1,649 units spanning 74 acres. Oakridge Park was added in a second phase in the early 1960s. In 1963 Oakridge's Sifton Bog was donated to the City of London.

Located within the subdivision of Hazelden is Hazelden Manor (from which the subdivision's name is derived) at 1132 St. Anthony Road. This home was built in 1892 by Colonel John William Little, who would later become mayor of London, and renovated in 1929. Due to the historical significance and preservation of this building, it was designated as a Heritage Property.
